Loretta Lynn
“Women are human, just exactly like a man,” Loretta Lynn told a Rolling Stone reporter in 1977. “But they all put you on a pedestal and hope.” The singer-songwriter, who died on Oct. 4 at her Tennessee home, earned her adoration with trailblazing, truth-telling hits like “Fist City,” “The Pill,” and “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind).” Find our full coverage of her iconic legacy at RollingStone.com.
